The Best DIAMOND MINE! Ep 2 : Minecraft 1.18 Hardcore Survival Let’s Play

Hey folks whip here and welcome to hardcore minecraft where it is time to mine and see how many resources we can acquire but first i need to finish enchanting my diamond armor to get fully geared up inside of this scary new world for that we’re going to need an

Experienced farm building a minecart system item elevator and an awesome new building to house all of our mining operations it’s time to get things in gear please subscribe and leave a like and with that let’s get rocking last time we made this starter house and i absolutely love it today however i want

To start by expanding our farming operation how we doing villages i’m over here because i gotta rate some of your oh that’s beetroot do you have carrots do you have carrots carrot look at me look at me i’m a shiny boy covered in diamonds yeah see yeah you care you care a lot

Now i already had some potatoes at home thankfully since the zombie in the last episodes but if i want to get a villager breeder i desperately need to get a carrot patch going might as well gather up the sugarcane in the time being and behind the house seems like a great

Point for a temporary carrot feel planted a field in every episode we’ve done it now of course i’m running out of food at this point so i gathered up the wheat field as well of course with a little expansion and breeding up the cows one more time now that we are

Loaded up on food but most importantly i did a little off-cam mining in between episodes and got myself up to level 30 mining a bunch of copper and coal ores i’m seeing an unbreaking three right here the rest are all fire protection and i’m really nope that nope at least

We’ll have a diamond chest piece for a while now okay back to finding experience but first i was out of spruce wood so naturally i had to go chop a bunch of spruce trees down because you can never run out of spruce wood so important prices averted i almost didn’t

Have spruce logs to build with but look at that oh i feel so much better now mining for experience is not the best use of my time or durability on our super pickaxe but i’ll take a little bit more coal it can’t run right just just a

Little just a little bit more now you may remember in the last episode we came all the way down here and did a bunch of mining and look at the coal and more iron but most importantly this abandoned mine shaft with more iron oh hi the butter boy from the dead

Okay we’re good we’re good we’re good but there are so many spider spawners here the spawner is disabled and there’s the dungeon wait this is an extra spawner and baby spiders oh it despised them and a spawner right in there wait no no no no no no

Use the shield use the shield haha i’m a professional let’s do it what do we got is that it’s a spider spawner diamond horse armor oh don’t mind if i do amazing another golden apple two diamond horse armor today what i’m sorry we have cave spider spawner cave spider spawner and

Regular spider spawner after checking that all three spawners could work at the same exact time i knew we had a triple experience farm on our hands so it is time to clear this entire area and see what we can do to get this whole place sorted to build up probably the

Best early game experience farm we can get now i’ve never made one of these with big spotters and little spiders but it can’t be too hard right this should work i don’t really know what i’m doing here but i figured we would plan for the cave spiders and hope the big spiders

Can just work so building up a cave spider killing chamber over here this should hopefully do it from here i started to dig out the channels to move the spiders around as well as filling in the walls around the place so they could only be moving in the one direction

Along with that installing some areas to stop the water moving forward so that we could funnel all the spiders into one place now i am not a technical minecraft player at all so this thing was so difficult to do it’s taken over four hours at this point just to get the

Spider spawner to a point where it might maybe be functional and i can’t even test it until everything that i’ve thought of is actually done and now comes the scary point of really hoping i did this correctly now this would be really cool to be able to see inside of

So i’ve got another idea while caving in the last episode we found a geode somewhere down here i think it was back here yes perfect there it is and here we have it our first geode now we need a bunch of amethyst shards now to be extremely careful and see if we can’t

Reveal as many of these budding amethyst blocks as we can this geode is pretty tiny and this is about as many of them that we’re going to be getting calcite’s one of my favorite blocks so i decided to stick around and gather it up as well

And had a fun surprise at the end check this out right here oh the jihad giveth 11 diamonds for us right there oh that’s so good the other element we need for tin and glass here is a bunch of sand to smelt down into regular glass to turn

Into the tinder glass and i saw a bunch of clay out here too so i gathered up that as well before running back home do toss it all inside of the furnaces and then actually installing two more furnaces into the side of our kitchen so that we could get even more stuff

Smelting one stack of tinted glass later we can start replacing this entire wall here with our tinted glass we definitely don’t have enough to do all of the walls around here but honestly four blocks tall that really doesn’t look half bad we can at least see into the farm and if

We jump up here we can really see everything going on all the way to the corner over there okay we can check on things and now before we put the final blocks in sealing this stuff in here we need to break all of these torches so that spiders start spawning yep that

One’s ready to go let’s get the big boys in here oh i’m seeing lots of spiders moving on all right this is good one final torch to go right there and the last spider spawner is on it’s done and we sealed them in but look at all these

Guys down here check that out oh the big spiders can’t come all the way up here oh no oh i hate everything i just accidentally flipped a trap door open and one of the spiders got lucid we are on half a heart we’re still alive

Though we are not dead not dead eat food away from the spider spawner noted well i have got an idea right now on how we can make this work for the big spiders too and i am absolutely terrified to try it oh wait i can be safe here actually this

Way the little spiders still can’t get to me there we go the big boys are coming through perfect okay amazing now the only thing i have left to do is we need to kill off all the baby spiders and i want to fix these so that when we

Open them they close down that way there we go now the spiders are coming through just finished ferrying all of the resources back upstairs and we are loaded up our rich’s chest is looking real good over here that being said i am level 39 meaning we can do quite a bit

Of enchanting i brought a barrel so we could have some temporary lapis storage blast protection four on some pants a hundred percent i’m taking that right now throw that on unbreaking three roots a sharpness four sword oh yes please and a protection for helmet oh that’s looking pretty good so far blast

Protection 4 and protection 4. we just need to get the boots and the chest piece redone with full enchanted diamond armor i dove back down into the mines to start gathering iron gold and rails from the abandoned mine shaft next up we need to speed up our travel network to the

Depths of this new minecraft world hopping up and down over 100 blocks each time i want to go mining is taking a toll on my space bar well i guess i should say almost fully enchanted back of the spider spawner one more time for the free xp and then up to the enchanter

We go with unbreaking three efficiency four on the diamond axe over there unbreaking three on the shovel at least keep it around for longer we will take that that’s looking pretty good and right there protection three all right that is feeling good speaking of enchanted gear i have new merch up for

The holiday season with some of my favorite designs ever also still the original classic ones check out the description if you want to see more now that we have full level 30 enchantments i want to work on improving our mining system for this railroad i still have

Two items left to gather gold and redstone as we need powered rails or this really isn’t going to be possible this is my first real time caving inside of minecraft 1.18 and dang these caves are horrifying with everything being so new in the layouts for them you can i

Can’t predict anything right now so i was scared to turn literally every single corner but sometimes turning those corners reveals something pretty awesome so it’s worthwhile geodes not only one but i found a second geode and then shortly after that even found a third geode all within 50 blocks of each

Other i think we can turn this into a pretty sweet amethyst farm down the road when we need it but after nearly two hours i came out of the caves with over a stack and a half of redstone blocks a full stack of raw copper blocks and a

Good amount of gold to take us along the way here too before we get to the project i want another diamond pickaxe as i really don’t want to lose the current one so let’s see what we get here okay take two now we’re talking with all this iron i can make an anvil

And combine the efficiency for pick into our super pick to make it even more amazing but now with everything on hand we can finally get to building the railroad starting by bringing this all the way up to the surface there we go on top of the world getting right into it

Minecraft 1.18 has changed how we will mine in minecraft forever instead of digging down to the bottom of the world we now have to pinpoint certain locations for the best chance of finding specific ores i’m setting up my mind today just to accomplish that creating a stopping point at each optimal mining

Level starting with positive 48 for copper ore then moving down to positive 16 for iron negative 16 for gold ore now lapis does spawn at level zero the most but i don’t really care too much about getting that much lapis so i’m just gonna forget about that one and go all

The rest of the way down to negative 58 where we get our diamonds and our redstone pressing the button and off we go up up and away with only missing a lever or two it appears to be working now that we can get ourselves from the

Bottom of the world all the way back up to the tippity top that is fantastic however we need to be able to move the items up and down as well for that we have to go into the nether let’s hope it’s safe oh of course

Soul sand this is what we need in courts oh we can leave well we’ve got a stack of courts and that should be about all i need so let’s get out of here next up we need a water elevator so we’ve gotta dig all the way down to bedrock so that we

Can move the items back up to the surface with the tunnel dug out we’re gonna need a lot of kelp to fill this whole thing in with that i set off an adventure to find the world spawn again as there was an ocean pretty close by

The new minecraft 1.18 game is that a river or an ocean it appears to be a river but there’s an ocean out in the ocean now we’re able to get just a little bit of kelp to be able to make this entire pillar and oh things are

Falling and i’m drowning but you are drown i’ve spotted a sunken ship over here so we might be able to get a buried treasure map which would be amazing maybe some free diamonds there we go and a blank map oh we can make a map of our

House thanks for the lift boys fairy treasures supposedly right down here ah perfect there we go we got some gold we got some iron we got some water breathing potions oh that’ll be amazing for what we’re about to do i’m a big fan of remembering things inside of my

Minecraft world so i wanted to finish exploring this treasure map as it was the first one we’ve ever seen inside of the new hardcore world from there i found some peonies and lilac so i brought those home with me as well because who doesn’t love flowers first

Off making sure not to fall in this hole but sending water all the way down and myself right down at the base note we need to install some systems to throw items inside of a double chest that’ll just get funneled inside of a dropper that will then go up to the tippity top

I think i remember how to do this yay it works drinking my water breathing potion i jumped into the tube placing a bunch of kelp down to create water sources and stopped at the other three layers to set up the dropper item elevator systems because we’re the big

Brain redstoner over here this is a very very long drop all right breaking that nice perfect all the items will end up right here this is great and all with the items ending up on the surface but they’re gonna despawn if they’re just sitting there and jumping out of the

Minecart in the middle of a grassy plains is a tad bit scary it’s time to get to constructing our mine entrance but first we gotta do the grinding to get the blocks so that we can actually build something and as with many great builds you can see me here gathering up

A ton of spruce wood saplings pointed down here it was time to move on to chopping down the oak and birch trees we’ve been replanting so far in this series but do not worry as we definitely replanted these things as well i can’t forget that outside of the wood we just

Gathered up i would love to use some deep slate materials for the roofs as well as a healthy mix of spruce materials of course some stone brick in here and definitely loads of cut copper but with that my friends we’ve got everything we need so let’s get building

Starting off with the front of the mine here i want to create some depth right off the bat bringing some strip spruce logs out and then creating a box around the place out of tough with cobblestone stacked on top like we did on the starter house then for the rest of the

Front of the structure i wanted to bring a little bit of oak highlight in here as well to bring that color in continuing the roof going all the way along the back end of the structure i want to keep things very consistent and simple for this guy here yes actually simple this

Time around so we’re bringing in this nice archway of stairs leading up into slabs and building on the rest of the roof right here and then i did want to slow down for just a moment to show how i’m doing this little pop-out window to

Break up the roof so it wasn’t quite so boring before flying off and finishing the rest of the build leaving space for some towers coming up out here soon almost as if they’re granaries but first we should probably get the back of this build on here with the stone brick and

Cobblestone same we did on the front with the same archways and everything like that so a little bit of a closer view here for you and then out on the side i do want to bring a chimney in this place so we can throw some blast furnaces inside so kind of prepping that

Up for now before moving on to those large smoke stacky structures i was talking about grain silos made out of cut copper blocks over here which will age down and look so beautiful here soon but this is going to be what we’re using to showcase us harvesting or storing the

Minerals that we’re bringing out of the earth so stacking this thing up over here creating two unique towers sticking out of the back just out of the cut copper leading into some deep slate tile i think it’s really really cool and the second one coming together here is a

Little two by two guy a little wonky but it turned out pretty well now i i messed up there’s it’s okay to mess up in your builds i miscalculated this build by one block the entire thing and i will own that but i think i came up with

Something here that doesn’t make it look too bad and kind of fits the style that we’re going for moving on though we need to work on the interior of this thing so crafting up a bunch of chests and hoppers so that we can start doing the technical aspect and also those blast

Furnaces i was talking about which are going right back down over here inside of the mine then from here we need to throw all of the hoppers in and get the chests in here so the system you know actually works and the items go somewhere linking up all the hoppers

From behind it should be really hidden inside of that copper silo from here i wanted to replace everything with coarse dirt on the inside just make a little bit cleaner and frame out the chest using some of our spruce trap doors and there we have it things are looking

Pretty fantastic inside of here i really love how this turned out and our mine cart can actually slip underneath these trapdoors so we don’t have to worry about falling in or anything chasing us and the minecart can go in and out which currently is at the bottom of the world

Now that wee bit of a mess up i talked about this entire build is one block too far that way i wanted this to line up perfectly on the tower but i was so far into it that um i’m not even gonna bother fixing it i’d have to move

Everything over one block and no thank you a major goal of this series for me is creating an interconnected world something where we can travel on a road between every build meaning it’s time to do a little bit of terraforming over here and see if we can’t get a coarse

Dirt pathway connecting all the way back up to our starter house you’re not allowed on the road this build is looking absolutely amazing over here and with some coarse dirt and some spruce slabs we’re able to take this road all the way up and everything is connected i

Am in love with this new build over here i threw a few railings in with some lanterns on them and it’s really bringing this place to life i know just a stupid little detail like that but it really adds up the next thing i wanted

To get rid of and fix is our potato fields so i’m just gonna harvest this all with our fortune pickaxe and we gotta extend our little slabs out over here but what i was thinking we’ve got this water up here and i love building tiny wells so why don’t we just turn it

Into a well all we do is that look at that infinite water and it’s adorable why am i trying to jump on top of every bit of farmland to break it i don’t know but here i am and i am continuing through to finish this

Ah there we go we need some wagons down here in front of our mine as if they’re hauling resources away wagon number one coming in right over here is a very simple one that just balances on two wheels and might be hanging off the edge slightly but it’s fine it’s totally

Totally fine just don’t back up any further some decorative barrels right there can work out and then for our final guy i’m thinking we come over here with a tiny hand cart that looks a little something like that maybe we do some signs here yep send it

That works also realizing i forgot to add a bunch of trapdoors out here on the edge to kind of border some things in so get those in here now there we go not so flat now moving forward with the final goal we need to complete for our mind

Today is acquiring a cave cat the only thing i am still afraid of inside of that mine well i guess i should say what could walk inside of the mine is a creeper so getting cave cat to hang out in there is gonna be a great idea so

It’s off to fishing for me He’s been sitting there the entire time i’ve been fishing as far as i’m aware and now i’m terrified he could have just walked over there and exploded on me and killed me all right kitty cats where are we hanging out today any village cats around that want to come home

Jelly jelly’s still here why don’t you want to be my friend yes first friends forever come on home jelly right up here please in your new home you have a very important job you guard this doorway and don’t let any creepers through off in search of another kitty the second village i found

Was feline free so i stole the bell and kept on moving where i found a massive copper vein before stumbling upon a third villain finally another kitty hello be my friend no be my friend yes oh i love you you’re adorable now for the long road back home come on

Kitty all right welcome on home little buddy who we definitely need a name for you nope nope you’re going the wrong way you’re going the wrong way wrong way wrong wait let me know a name for a little kitty cat up here down in the comments below and whatever the most

Upvoted name is for the cat i will name it in the next episode we already got the name tag so we’re going to go in that front and that adventure yielded 59 raw blocks of copper i mean we’ve got the wagon over here we might as well

Pile up something inside of it honestly looks pretty cool next up we’re diving back down into the mines but first i want to see if we can get some feather falling oh my god we did it i’m speechless will that into existence out of nothing okay then that was worth

The four diamonds don’t mind if i do now time to dive into the mines today we are targeting coal copper and iron so first starting off at the copper level i started branch mining like crazy in oh my gosh we found so much of this stuff

And you better call it kappa because it should be illegal how much copper we’re getting okay that’s really bad that’s really bad but look at this really cool cave and everything else that we found down here holy cow what is oh panic attack aside there from dropping inside of the hole

This cave was eye opening for me i got so excited and my brain started flowing on so many ideas that we can use for this place so i started torching it up like crazy just to see how large this thing actually was finding off way too many mobs throughout the entire place

Because wow it is a death trap down here thank god for the new lighting mechanics to be honest we were able to get a lot of it done down on the base layer and i think this is something we will come back to in the future for maybe a giant

Cave village that could be pretty cool let me know if you think so in the comments this was some of the most fun i’ve had mining inside of minecraft in a very very long time and holy cow dropping chest after chest after chest inside of the elevator system thankfully

It does work and we were able to send so many resources up to the top just after the copper level alone i did also stop down at the jihad as you see in here and i grabbed a bunch of tough block because i want to use it for building in the

Future it is a very good thing that we made these blast furnaces over here because look at all of this stuff just unsorted over here unsorted in there and check this out look at all of that copper and more items are still piling in so we might get some more out of it

Look at the iron and coal up here too i’m gonna start smelting these guys down for sure but apparently we need a super smelter already but there we have it my friends resources have been acquired we can really start moving forward in this world with our full enchanted diamond
